Yamaha Grizzly ATV Project Part 7

Installing camshaft, static timing

[@Echoepic95]

To save you the trouble I never remove the cam sprocket I always leave in a complete assembly makes the job easier

[@ldavis5734]

The indicator mark is on the inside edge of the threads of the timing hole.Your welcome.

[@jdh6200]

You have to be a teacher, if not you should be. very well done in your explanation and detail

[@connersnow298]

Awesome video

[@tayg9175]

Thanks

[@teknofreak269]

No it dont backfire, it starts just fine. I rode it around the yard and the pipe at the header was glowing red. I took it off and started it and, it shoots out flames. I think the timing is late

[@Zionslayer1]

Thank you for showing the mistakes.

[@stevewatr]

+Zionslayer1 You're welcome, and thanks for watching.

[@christophertehan5364]

This is a huge help.. I couldn’t figure out the timing issue to save my life.

[@stevewatr]

You need to make sure the exhausty valve is closed at TDC. Don't keep running it that way, you might burn the exhaust valve/seal.

[@stevewatr]

@sleblanc74 Hello. Even with the chain tensioner removed, there was not enough slack in the chain to allow removal of the camshaft with the gear in place. Unbolting the gear allowed me to drop the gear down just enough to slide the chain off.

[@billyclevenger2632]

Yes it can definitely be done.

[@sleblanc74]

why remove the sprocket on the camshaft???

[@teknofreak269]

I had a valve job done. I'm sure it's all ok

[@stevewatr]

What I am saying is, they may be fine now, but that might change if you continue to run it that way.

[@stevewatr]

You mean it runs but backfires? Or does it not even start.

[@teknofreak269]

I can't run it, the pipes glow red because it's so hot

[@teknofreak269]

My timing is still off, I got flames coming out of my cylinder .. Thinking its late

[@jfedorek86]

Hate to harass you with questions but after my rebuild i hear a little ticking. this is my first rebuild.so i am not sure of the sound. some people say the decompression pin will remain out if you time it wrong. how loud would this be?

[@stevewatr]

Sorry, I do not know how loud that would be. If it was that, wouldn't you have low power from low compression? I've even heard a head gasket leak that sounded like a clicking noise. Not saying that's the cause, just saying it could be so many things. I'd take a length of small hose, hold one end up near (not in!) my ear, and "sniff" around with the other end of the hose to try and isolate where the sound is coming from. As always, remember, I am not a mechanic, just a guy who loves loves trying to be one! Happy Holidays!

[@mackfiles3449]

Big big help thanks a lot

[@the02chevyman]

hey man thanks for the video. I have a question please help. I need to replace my decompression pin I believe. do you remember if you can get that pin out without removing the cam shaft? I really want to avoid having to get it lined back up with proper timing. would I be able to do it without removing cam?

[@stevewatr]

I can't remember. I still think my compression release is not working properly. but I can bump the starter to get it to turn over.

[@Rescuearmor]

If you were at the piston all you had to do was make it TDC then go off that

[@AaronSmith-hw1sl]

What mark was tdc the H or the line

[@bbob8795]

The line

[@jaywinters2483]

Instead of recording how it’s done, you’re trying to talk about it in this worthless video. Exiting out

[@stevewatr]

That's a shame. Just when I thought we were going to be friends. Now I am done sad panda.
